Frequent Risk Signals

• Unprotected deposits: If you sign a standard REIQ contract without a Pet Approval in Townhouse clause and the Body Corporate later rejects your pet, you cannot terminate the contract without losing your deposit, which can be up to 10% of the purchase price.
• Strict timeframes: A significant buyer's risk occurs when the approval timeframe in the special condition is too short. Body Corporate committees in Queensland often take 14 to 21 days to vote outside of an Annual General Meeting, meaning a standard 7-day pet approval clause may expire before a decision is legally made.
• Unreasonable conditions: Under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (Qld), committees cannot unreasonably withhold consent, but they can impose strict conditions (e.g., carrying pets through all common areas). If your clause doesn't specify that approval must be "on terms acceptable to the buyer," you may be forced to proceed under highly restrictive rules.
• Weight and breed restrictions: Many Queensland townhouse by-laws strictly cap pet weights (e.g., a maximum of 10kg). If your pet exceeds this and you lack a well-drafted approval clause, you may be legally forced to choose between abandoning a $500,000+ property purchase or rehoming your animal.
• Silent by-laws: Never assume that seeing other dogs in the complex means your pet is automatically allowed. Without formal, written approval tied to the REIQ contract conditions, previous committee leniency offers absolutely no legal protection for new owners.
• Vague clause drafting: If the clause simply states "subject to pet approval" without naming the specific animal, breed, age, and weight, the seller may challenge your right to terminate, potentially leading to costly legal disputes in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT).
